As I said before, are many different, reliable, renewable, dependable, easily accessible, great, wonderful, useful, nice, good, fruitful energy sources other than fossil fuels.
No one is denying that except perhaps the unheard invisible debater in Maxis head.
What is clear and evident to anyone who looks past the fact that there are plenty of other ways to produce energy is that None of these other ways are nearly as efficient as Fossil Fuels.
Energy input to energy output for fossil fuels has been a catalyst for human development and the maintenance of industrial society for many decades now.
As Oil production around the globe becomes more costly due to the decreasing amounts of easily accessible Oil deposits, its price will steadily increase, resulting in a huge decline in development and maintenance of the infrastructure we have already developed.
In coming decades once the energy required to obtain Oil approaches and then exceeds the energy obtained from its retrieval, it will become a luxary energy source, and we will be dependent upon renewable energy, which is much less efficiently obtained.
You can look at the most simple of facts and make your judgments from those like our friend Max, or you can make a rational decision on your opinion based on in depth research on actual energy consumption ratios taking into account retrieval costs, and other such factors.
If you Live In the world of Max Logan, where a rock and a piece of cement are exactly the same thing, then I suppose U have little to worry about, and you can simply claim that anyone who opposes your ideas are ignorant.
Otherwise it might be an Idea to think about how the industrial revolution has changed human society so drastically, and for the sake of the generations to come, spread the word on peak oil.
I am not a conspiracy theorist, I simply feel it is important that we all understand what is happening in our generation, and how it is so drastically different from the past.
Perhaps sometimes I go overboard and talk like it is the end of the world... clearly it is not, but someone has to counter the overly complacent attitude of the masses.
Perhaps some time in the future we will discover an alternative energy source that can stack up to fossil fuels in terms of efficiency, but we have no such technology now available to the world.
If you want to stick your head in the sand like Max, then that is your choice.
I feel that its important to try to leave the world a better place than when u came into it.
